I'm not saying they ALL smeII like cheese, but they're definitely the 2nd most likely after theory. Again, not all theorists smeII like cheese, but they're the most likely, and Americanists are 2nd.
What do you have against cheese?
Cheese is awesome.
Everything should be more like cheese. It would make the world a better place.

Most Americanists I talk to are impressive. They’re widely read, know democratic theory, and harbor comparative ambitions.
They just have to hide it because less impressive colleagues have power over their life chances.
One observable implication of this theory is the fate of JM candidates who claim multiple subfields.
